Neal Morse began reconsidering making music with Transatlantic in 2007. He prepared a demo titled The Whirlwind and thought it sounded like the band's style. Roine Stolt and the other group members immediately accepted the proposal to make a new Transatlantic album.
The group met in April at Neal Morse's home studio in Nashville. They created the album's basic outline on the first night and completed the writing process in four days. Morse stated that writing the album took only four days.
Roine Stolt said Mike Portnoy played an important role in bringing the group's ideas together. Morse pointed to Pete Trewavas's many creative contributions to the album. All Transatlantic members shared the songwriting contributions on the record.
Stolt said The Whirlwind could be interpreted in different ways by different people and described its openness to interpretation as exciting.
